Poison Doctor with Thousand Faces: Hades is not easy to mess with

Chapter 28 Strange Old Man
Arriving in the imperial city of the Western Regions, it was the first time for Bai Lingran to come to this bustling place.

Can't help but feel more interested, Zhang Shou looked around.

While walking, I listened to the hawkers drinking loudly.

"Come on, come on, girl, look at the jewelry in our hands? This is purely handmade!"

"Excellent carmine! The carmine that just arrived this year!"

"Smooth silk handkerchief! Ladies, come and see it! It's all right!"

"..."

Bai Lingran smiled slightly, unexpectedly, this place in the Western Regions is much more prosperous than the desert.

But the inadvertent smile on her face attracted Yan Yitian's sideways glance.

Although Yan Yitian was wearing a mask, he still walked behind with her, while Shangguan Miao, the Ninth Highness in front, was discussing with that Moge.

"Is there anything you fancy?" Yan Yitian asked suddenly.

Bai Lingran was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly came over and shook his head, "No."

The two continued to follow the group and walked in front of an old man, but Bai Lingran stopped unexpectedly.

At this time, His Royal Highness Shangguan Miao called Yan Yitian over, but Yan Yitian didn't notice that Bai Lingran was already walking towards the old man's vendor. The old man's vendor had quite strange things on display.

The reason why it's weird is because the vendors put all the herbs in front of them.

And Bai Lingran was familiar with medicinal herbs all along, but he had never seen the medicinal herbs put out by this old man, let alone recognized them.

Dozens of herbs she had never seen before aroused her interest.

He couldn't help squatting down, reached out to touch the dried herbs, took some and put them between his nose and sniffed them.

There was a fishy smell coming from her nose, which made her frown, "Mr., what is this?"

The old man sat on the side basking in the sun, half-closed his eyes, very comfortable.Hearing Bai Lingran's question, he said lazily, "Sandalwood."

"You talk nonsense, how could this be wood sandalwood?"

Bai Lingran was a little angry. How could a person who sells herbal medicines talk nonsense without distinguishing between herbal medicines!If the patient is allowed to take the wrong herbal medicine, he will lose his life!The tone became a little harsh, "Sandalwood, sweet and bitter, how can it be full of fishy smell like this?"

Hearing that a little girl pointed out his slip of the tongue without any politeness, the old man smiled instead of anger, and opened his eyes, "I can't think of a little girl who is familiar with wood sandalwood? That's really a mistake, little girl." , the herb in your hand is considered to be given to you by this old man!"

"What kind of herbal medicine is this?"

"Dragon Heart Grass."

Bai Lingran's eyes lit up, she really is a good baby!

She only knew about the Dragon Heart Grass from the book, and she also knew that it had a fishy smell.But I don't know the pattern, so I can't tell the difference.

Dragon Heart Grass, she has always wanted to find this herbal medicine, so that she can get rid of the five poisons on Yan Yitian's body faster, but she didn't expect to find it on this humble small vendor!As long as you cooperate with this herbal medicine, you can increase the chance to [-]%.

As soon as Bai Lingran saw the herbs here, Bai Lingran immediately felt admiration for the old man in front of him, and his tone was not as severe as before. Instead, he bowed to the old man, "Old man, may I ask if you have dragon heart grass siblings here?" —Is it a phoenix crown fruit?"

The old man gave Bai Lingran a sideways glance, "You actually know Phoenix Crown Fruit?"

"Please, old man, sell it to me." Bai Lingran begged.

"Okay, it seems that you really want it, I just sell it to you."

The old man picked out the phoenix crown fruit, then wrapped the dragon heart grass, and handed it to her, "It's a total of ten taels of silver!"

Tao Hong, a maidservant next to her, heard the words, "What? Ten taels of silver? Old man, you might as well grab it!"

"Tao Hong, Hugh must be rude to the old man!"

Bai Lingran glared at Tao Hong, stopped her rudeness sharply, turned to the old man and said, "I'm sorry, old man, it was my maid who offended you rudely, and I forgot to forgive you!"

Tao Hong took a few steps back aggrieved, and stopped talking.

Bai Lingran took a gold hairpin from his hair and put it in the old man's hand, "I don't have any silver with me, so I can use this gold hairpin to pay ten taels of silver, is that okay?"

The old man looked at the finely crafted gold hairpin, and with this gold hairpin, as long as it was pawned in a pawnshop, dozens of taels of silver would not be a problem.

The old man grinned, "The little girl is generous, and the old man will accept it."

Bai Lingran ordered the servant girl Taohong to leave here with the two herbs, and walk towards Yan Yitian and the others.

Yan Yitian saw her talking with an old man from a distance, and seeing Taohong holding herbs in her arms, he couldn't help being taken aback, "Did you just buy this thing?"

Bai Lingran nodded, "Yes."

Shangguan Miao's eyes fell on her body, he just looked up and down, looked away, and didn't say anything.

But Yan Yitian was thoughtful.

What he was curious about was, how could this woman be so interested in medicinal herbs instead of looking at rouge, gouache, or silk handkerchiefs?When Tao Hong reported to him, she also said that the books she read in the carriage these days were all about medicinal herbs.

Originally, he planned to read those books by himself, but he didn't expect her to read them instead.

Could it be that she was worried because of her poisoning?

Thinking of this, Yan Yitian felt warm.

Shangguan Miao said, "I'm going to the palace to attend the banquet tonight. Why don't you rest in the palace's other courtyard, I have to go back to the palace to deal with some matters, what do you think we can talk about at night?"

"But according to His Highness' arrangement!"

"Moge, go back to the palace."

"Yes!"

Under the protection of Moge, Shangguan Miao was escorted back to the palace by a large number of soldiers and horses.

On the other hand, Yan Yitian led Bai Lingran to the other courtyard of His Highness Ninth Prince with two entourages.

The law and order in the Imperial City of the Western Regions is very good.

At least from Bai Lingran's point of view, although there are beggars in this imperial city, when beggars meet wealthy families, they are just begging and will not pester them too much.

Yan Yitian held her hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why is your palm so cold?"

Bai Lingran smiled slightly, "The root cause of the disease from childhood, whether it is winter or summer, is chills, which cannot be cured."

When Yan Yitian heard it, he didn't say anything, but just held her hand with a big hand, and the strength was a little heavier.

In the other courtyard, the decoration is simple.

Although it is the other courtyard of His Highness the Ninth Prince, it looks more like the house of an ordinary family.

The red lacquered gate and two stone lions outside the gate are carved with obsidian, making the two stone lions lifelike.

There was a servant who had already received the news at the door, stood at the door, bent down, and shouted respectfully: "Slave Xiao Guizi welcomes Prince Anding and Princess Anding."
